Default first ride since winter


Now that I've got my front fairing and airbox with the k+n on and finally got some weather good enough to ride. HOLY CRAP THESE BIKES ARE SWEET! I liked it before and I have some serious gains. I mean I know I was running it lean but damn. New problem now. I was adding some air to the tires after the ride and an old tire pressure stem sprung a leak. So blown I was getting ready to go back out.

wheres the pics? glad you're out riding, i've been on mine as much as i can this winter. hopefully the valve stem is an easy fix, you might get one of those valve stem tools and make sure the valve is tight.

After I get all my fairings painted and mounted i'll post some before and after pics. Right now its nothing special. Actually, people laugh at it until they hear it running haha. All that will change by the time its nice enough out to get some serious riding in. I still need a headlight though because the d-bag I ordered one from on ebay never sent mine. As for the valve stem, I'm gonna pull the wheels off to paint them up anyways so its not that big of a deal, just annoying because it halts any current riding plans.

I know i know, I have pics but have been too lazy to figure out how to upload them. I will when i get around to it but as its getting nicer outside I'm paying more attention to getting the bike in order for spring. My headlight and tank will be here on friday (finally). On another note, I just ordered a dual exhaust flowmaster cat-back system for my 2006 5.3L Silverado. It will be here tomorrow!!!!! Sooo stoked.
